...and he's a Lucha Libre wrestler. How very original, said El Blaze from Virtua Fighter 5 and La Mariposa from Dead Or Alive 4 at the revelation from Japanese gaming bible Famitsu.

Blatant rip-off though this may be, the thought of having to learn a whole new set of convoluted moves - down, down-right, right, down, P+K, then...Super Cancel! Ha! That showed you! - will be cause for celebration among the beat-em-up community.

Cynical hat off, the character design for El Fuerte looks suitably Street Fighter-y, and all those Rey Mysterio fans will have a new favourite brawler. Now this has leaked, expect some decent hi-res shots soon, rather than a couple of slightly shiny mag scans at the link below.
